9 Best Hand Mixers (Review) In 2020

The best choice on our list is the Hamilton Beach 6 Speed Electric Hand Mixer. It is one of the best hand mixers that we found, just on performance alone. It is powerful, easy to handle, and well built. It has six speeds to let you control the device and get your preparation just right, as well as an instant boost switch just on top of the handle so you can use your spare hand to steady the ingredients bowl. It has been designed with a stand so that you can put it down to rest it, or use the groove on the front to rest it over the mixing bowl. We like the storage case – simply take off the beater and whisk, wash and clean, and store away neatly so everything stays together. We find it light enough to use for a good length of time.

Beat your eggs, make whipped cream – the KitchenAid 5 Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer is a sweet little hand mixer and you’ll find it so lightweight to handle. We like the fact that there is no central post so the build-up of cloggy ingredients is prevented so your cake batter won’t be a pain to remove. You might like that you simply press a button and it releases the beaters when you’re finished. It also has a lockable power cord, what that means is that you can lock it to the left or right so that you can tackle the job from either angle.

This lightweight hand mixer has a power advantage over some at a similar price. It’s cheaper than the KitchenAid KHM512WH we listed above and is our choice for the best value. This is the Remington Russell Hobbs Retro Style Hand Mixer and even if you don’t like the fact it has a power advantage plus it comes with extra dough hooks and a whisk in addition to the beaters, and it works well on thick and gloopy ingredients… you will enjoy that it has been designed in a sleek and retro style. In red it’s a design statement in itself and will sit well in any kitchen. You can sit it upright on its flat bottom but avoid doing that if you still have a mixture on the beaters as it will drip everywhere! It’s small so neatly stored away when you’re not baking. Good if you need something smaller in place of a stand mixer.

Thinking that BLACK+DECKER only ‘do’ heavy-duty construction workmates? Well, they don’t. Here is their Helix Performance Hand Mixer model we thought it was worthy of putting into our review list. Looks-wise, it still looks pretty industrial but we think it looks tough and able to handle the thickest of cake batter. It comes in eight colors so it will be a good fit for any kitchen decor. The handy mix of dual-beaters as with most other hand mixers allows it to work through ingredients easily. With 5 speed control, you can change through speeds smoothly, and it has a turbo boost switch too.

Don’t be distracted by the gorgeous art-deco blue color, the VonShef BLUE 250W Hand Mixer is priced averagely and is on par with many hand mixers available. With the three different attachments, easy to control speed settings, boost button, and great looks it will sit well in your countertop and is small enough to store away neatly. This is not the lightest hand mixer on our list. It is good as your first-hand mixer – it’s good if you’re looking to create a softly whipped cream, beat eggs, and mix a light cake batter. Our only point would be that the whisk and beaters are fairly flimsy.

Our budget pick and the cheapest on our best hand mixer review list is the Brentwood Lighweight 5-Speed Electric Hand Mixer which, just like its weight and size, is priced tiny. This may be a good first-hand mixer device although only if you are looking to create whipped cream or very light batter, and to beat eggs although if you are hoping to make delicious cookie dough you might be disappointed as it is so lightweight and not as powerful as the rest of the hand mixers on our list. A good thing to point out is that the beating tools are actually heavier looking than some of the more expensive hand mixers we have reviewed. For the price and an extremely low budget, it will be good only for very light work.

The Dash Smart Store Compact Electric Hand Mixer is exactly what it says, a compact little hand mixer that has a truly good design. It looks good and is practical, even the beating tools snap into the handle when not in use so that when you’re storing the device (it will fit in a drawer) the tools are with it so never lost! At 150 watts of power, it’s pretty powerful for its size and we think you will like the price. For a small price, you get a great design, small but powerful operation, a power cord with a clip so you can wrap it around the mixer, and basically a super way to beat eggs, cookie dough, cream and cake batter till your heart’s content.

The Braun MultiMix Hand Mixer is a smart-looking hand mixer that comes with more additions than the rest of the hand mixers in our 2020 review list. In black color, it’s well built, sturdy, lightweight, and powerful – taking all the effort from you and doing a great job at the same time. The outer housing is completely sealed so it’s very easy to wipe the body clean whilst popping the tools in the dishwasher when you’re finished using it. The 9-speed control is a dial, which turns up to turbo so it’s easy to adjust while you are working on your ingredients, a better idea than a switch as it allows the speed to change smoothly while you whisk and beat. The tools are long enough to fit into a deep bowl plus 9-speed capability allows you to mix light to heavy ingredients with ease. We love the chopper attachment which fits neatly onto the mixer, and as a little extra it has its own storage bag.

The Oster HeatSoft Hand Mixer is a fine-looking hand mixer with a magnetic copper-colored nozzle, but if you are looking for power then the 270 watts give you plenty. It whipped cream well and softens even cold butter unlike many of the hand mixers we reviewed. It does this using its HeatSoft button near the speed control switch. Cookie dough, bread, and pizza mix even though heavy is easily managed as it combines ingredients smoothly and evenly. The noise level is good even at the highest speed and when using the burst button. You might like the storage case, like two of the others on our list (Hamilton Beach 62682RZ and BLACK+DECKER MX600L) but this one doesn’t snap-in, the tools go in and the body slots into the case to keep everything together.
